Penelope Cruz in Mario’s avatar

She looked almost unrecognisable in the Spanish TV ad for the game “New Super Mario Bros 2″. She features with her real-life sister Monica in the ad, reports thesun.co.uk.

The ad starts with the siblings battling to surpass each other’s scores on their respective Nintento DS consoles. Unleashing her competitive streak, the “Nine” star is filmed playing Mario on an outdoor sofa.
